throttle problems

so i put my throttle assembly back together so i could get it out of the shop. i was quite pleased when it started up and idled and sounded normal. i let it wartm for 5 or 10 min(1 beer) then i hopped in it to move it but when i hit the gas it died. i can start it right back up and it will idle fine but when i hit the gas it dies.

Fuel shutoff solenoid wire loose?

If that's good, then you have the throttle lever clocked one spline loose.

what about the fuel solenoid wire. where is that. but if it were that wouldnt it not run at all. it will idle just fine but it will stall anything over that

Top wire... could be loose, but I doubt it.

the wires fine. i have the throttle shaft set up so when i start it it should be at full throttle. but its just at an idle. i had to set it up like that just to get it to move.
